Chapter 62 Still Water Opens Its Eyes [13]

Uchiha Shisui lay on the experimental table. He had already consumed the fruit of the Tree of Transformation and had willingly entered the illusion constructed within his consciousness by the fruit.

In an instant, Uchiha Shisui, who was engrossed in the genjutsu, suddenly sat up from the experimental table. His Sharingan eyes widened, and under the gaze of everyone in the laboratory, the three tomoe slowly condensed together, forming a four-cornered windmill pattern.

A cold yet powerful chakra emanated from Shisui, causing Anko to instinctively take two steps back.

The chakra leaking from Shisui felt somewhat unfamiliar to Anko, as if Shisui's entire soul had been replaced.

call!call!

Shisui gasped for breath, his eyes scanning his surroundings as he turned his neck. His eyes, now evolved once more, granted him enhanced pupil power and perception, allowing him to glean far more information from even a casual glance than when he had previously activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Are we still in the illusion?"

As Zhishui's deep voice rang out, a phantom emerald green skeleton radiated outwards from him before solidifying into a physical form.

But soon, upon seeing Shikanobu, Orochimaru, and Anko, he seemed to remember something, and the illusory skeleton on his body slowly faded away under his suppression.

"What is that?" Seeing Shisui's pale face and wary expression, Hongdou's eyes widened in surprise. The shock and sense of danger from the skeleton she had just seen made her tremble all over.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?" Orochimaru's eyes widened with excitement. Although he didn't care about the Uchiha's bloodline limit, he was still very interested in the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was on par with Wood Release.

If he truly could live forever, he would need to find something to do during his long life. Mastering all the ninjutsu in the ninja world and conducting various researches would be a very good goal.

"It seems you've gained a lot, Shisui-kun." Orochimaru didn't immediately step forward, but stood there watching him expectantly.

Having just emerged from their illusory environment, most Uchiha are still somewhat immersed in the illusion. This is their most sensitive phase, and they are easily vulnerable to attack if anything goes wrong.

Orochimaru wasn't afraid of the Sharingan, but he didn't want a fight to break out in the lab.

"Calm down! Drink it!" It was Lu Nie who took the initiative to step forward and hand Zhi Shui a vial of emerald green medicine, gesturing for him to drink it.

This medicine was specially made for the fruit of the Tree of Transformation. It can calm the mind and has a very good effect on mental trauma and agitation.

At least that's what the Uchiha clan members who took it said.

It became even more sought after after it was discovered that this drug could allow the Uchiha to make better use of the Sharingan and reduce its mental and physical burden.

At least every month, the Uchiha clan would purchase a large quantity of these drugs from the Technology Development Department as needed.

Depending on the type of magatama, the effects of the medicine vary.

At least during the time they collaborated with the Technology Development Department, there was a noticeable increase in the upgrade of the Uchiha's eye power and the awakening of their eyes among the clan members.

This unconsciously amplified the scale of clan meetings within the Uchiha clan.

The Kurama clan also obtained the long-awaited bloodline awakening. Although not many people awakened it, and it was still somewhat dangerous, the clan's strength did recover to some extent.

The cooling medicine went down the throat and into the stomach, and the medicine quickly took effect.

The intense pain in his head and eyes subsided considerably under the cool sensation, and even Shizuku's oppressive and desperate mood lessened somewhat.

"Lord Orochimaru."

As a master of illusion, Shisui realized that he had indeed broken free from the illusion and, with the help of the potion, had regained his emotional calm. He bowed his head to Orochimaru.

"Raise your head!" Orochimaru commanded Shisui softly. As Shisui obediently raised his head, and saw the unique kaleidoscope pattern in his eye sockets, Orochimaru's desire to explore arose.

"So this is the Mangekyou Sharingan's evolved form? It's so beautiful! I actually sensed a threat from those eyes!"

Orochimaru stared directly at Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan without any attempt to hide it, his lips seeming a little dry, and he licked his lips slightly with his tongue.

He's Orochimaru!

The still water before him made him feel a sense of danger, which meant that the other party already had the strength to harm him or fight him.

Shisui subconsciously touched his eye socket, and he truly noticed the change in his eyes. The stronger ocular power than the three-tomoe gem, along with the enhanced dynamic vision, presented him with a more magnificent and colorful world.

"With three tomoe, you're already on par with a Jonin. As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, you're probably close to my level." Orochimaru had never actually witnessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he could only judge Shisui's current strength based on his own experience.

"I am your subordinate," Shisui said respectfully to Orochimaru, bowing his head slightly.

"Look, Shisui's eyes have regressed to three tomoe again!" Anko suddenly seemed to have discovered something, pointing at Shisui's eyes as she shouted.

"That's normal. According to the Second Hokage's research on the Uchiha, the Uchiha are a clan that represents love. Because their love is so intense, it often turns into extreme hatred when they lose it."

When these feelings of love and hate reach a peak, the brain produces a special kind of chakra that acts on the optic nerve.

At this point, the Uchiha will be stimulated to awaken and open their Sharingan.

The principle behind the Tree of Transformation is to trick the brain into generating this special chakra. Uchiha who awaken their Sharingan through the Tree of Transformation are reverted to their original form for a period of time.

But once it's activated, it's activated. Activating it again is only a matter of time. Even if Shisui can't activate the Mangekyou Sharingan again for a while, his eye power amplification will quickly reach the upper limit achievable within the illusion over time.

Lu Nie wasn't surprised by Hong Dou's overreaction; he simply observed Shisui's eyes while answering Hong Dou.

"Was that skeleton just now a bloodline limit ninjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Orochimaru stood behind Shikagure, watching him collect Shisui's blood, and asked the question that piqued his curiosity.

The chakra power associated with that skeleton had caused Orochimaru quite a shock.

He could solidify chakra and manifest it externally; the only chakra mode he knew was the Lightning Release chakra mode of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The skeleton of Shisui is composed of changes in properties and form created by the power of Yin Dun.

"Susanoo. It's a Mangekyou Sharingan ninjutsu."
